Subscribe  Join online academy

In this video I explain the basic technique for playing a forehand drive in table tennis.

A forehand drive is an attacking shot, typically used in fast topspin rallies.

In the video I explain when to use a forehand drive, how to execute the shot and some common mistakes to look out for.

I also give training drill examples to help you practice and improve.
